stange behaviour typing values in Effect Editor

Here is a weird one: in the Effect Editor, when I select a parameter and type a value, most of the time it doesn't work properly, the typed entry is validated after just one or two keystrokes (e.g. I type '102' but it works like if I typed '10' <enter> then '2' <enter>).

This happens mostly (exclusively ?) when the second typed number is '0' e.g. '102' doesn't work, but '112' is just fine.

IOW it is extremely difficult to enter a numeric value from the keyboard for an effect parameter in the 100-109 range !

We're halfway through! On MC 2018.2 the "Bug Number: MCCET-2274. In some instances, entering values in the Effect Editor reset to 0." has been fixed, but when entering a negative value, eg -100, and soon after entering a non negative value, eg 50, the effect editor will stick to negative numbering, -50 in the previous example; it didn't use to work like that before, when entering a positive number would be correctly interpreted. Workaround when a negative number is already in the effet editor is to type +50 (or whatever number).

My pleasure, still if at least three of us can reproduce this behaviour this can be submitted as a bug. Moreover, bug number MCCET-2274 has been fixed (according to the literature), but Marianna posted about bug number MCCET-2185 over the yahoo group.

To be specific: if a negative number is already in place when first opening the effect tool entering a positive number works as usual, the hiccup only occurs after entering a positive number soon after entering negative one.
